Steve Powers for Absolut Vodka

Absolut’s new Art of Sharing campaign prominently features two of our favorite artists, Steve Powers and Chiho Aoshima, creating four (2 each) custom pitchers for the vodka brand.  These are must haves for the boozy, art lover. And if anyone is feeling generous enough after depleting some of the bottles content, they should send all four pitchers our way for further investigation.

I was up in the New York office of Havaianas last night, and  couldn’t help but geek out over their closet door handles.  Maintaining identity.

Years old but, still cool. The Aquaduct by IDEO

“The Aquaduct is a pedal powered concept vehicle that transports, filters, and stores water for the developing world. The functional model was designed and constructed over a three week period for the Innovate or Die contest hosted by Google and Specialized…The Aquaduct is designed to allow a person to sanitize and transport water simultaneously. As the rider pedals, a pump attached to the pedal crank draws water from a large tank, through a carbon filter, to a smaller clean tank. A clutch engages and disengages the drive belt from the pedal crank, enabling the rider to filter the water while traveling or while stationary. The clean tank is removable and closed for contamination-free home storage and use.”

I have no clue what’s going on here but, The Most Interesting Man in the World better be invloved.

• Two portable fold-out stands
• One anti-static Screen Guard
• One Microfiber Wipe
• One Squeegee for your Screen Guard application
